gotta love when an extremely infrequent system bug rears it's ugly head again after almost a year of silence just to ruin my day 🥲
(don't mind me, very much just letting off a bit of steam here. also don't worry about me: you only have to restart the system in order for the bug to go away; it's just extremely infuriating when you're someone like me who overthinks the ever-living hell out of pretty much any inconvenience XD)

Thanks, and I can be the cool uncle that wears hoodies no matter the time of year. That’s basically the same thing as leather jackets.

This is a stupid idea, but how hard would it be to replace a switch screen? I have an old system that still works that I kinda want to give alway as a gift. But, it has some screen damage so I want to repair it. Would this be difficult?

Ah, well no way is that happening anymore. Luckily I gotta get the gift for my brother in law, and I now know that baby gifts are on the menu. Said brother in law is getting a very small Cardinals jersey at the moment.

It's sunny in Madrid now, but damn there is cold. I got used to cold Spanish winters which are colder than in Latin America in general. I think Spain can supply it's citizens with gas from Africa.
First of all sorry everyone for not replying for a couple of days, I got swept off the board for a couple of days and after work I was too tired to do anything. I also wanted a cool head for this. I'm a bit better today.
@Snatcher Thank you very much! The comment in question was regarding how poor the choices for Games Award were, for a couple of reasons, like paid categories, lack of knowledge of the people responsible, general trends and ties to the major western companies. I think someone thought that I was talking about Nintendo games even though I honestly think they were the only good picks out there.
I seem to be cursed with this, everytime I say something that isn't a general consensus, I gather some casual hatred from people who shouldn't even feel insulted. I have this thing where I focus on negativity (I am working on it, but I already said it like 20 times and my efforts aren't seen, which can be perceived as cringe in its own right). The reason why I sometimes say more negative things is that if we keep praising everything, nothing will change for the better. I recently lost any hope for the video games industry, but for example - if we say that the average games are good enough, we won't see anything better. Critique might not be pleasant, but by directing it at ideas rather than people (what I try to do), we can show others that we deserve better, and more demanding as consumers, leading to companies finally making good products in order to make us buy things.
So yeah I actually think it might be a curse as long as something like a curse can exist. I generally tend to gather hatred like electrostatic cloth gathers dust. Or maybe I'm just poor with people and I can't read the room. Nevertheless, it's a continuing trend in my life, one of the main themes of why I was bullied when I was younger and why I generally grew distrustful towards people.
At the same time I know it could just be me, so I don't trust myself fully to be too friendly with other people so as not to hurt them. I mean I probably hurt my former 2 friends pretty badly back then. I still remember one show episode where a girl was a bad friend (like, genuinely not a good person) and she hated herself for not being able to change. It was just a minor theme and nobody paid it any attention but damn it hit like a truck.
It's just being called out like that made some things resurface. Things I want to get rid of.
I just want to say again that I really appreciate that you took your time to let me know all that.
@Definitely-Not-Leon thank you so very much for this! It honestly made me feel a lot better. I'll try to provide some more opinions from time to time, in a milder manner.
@Eel I do not want to make it look like I disagree, I just heard that "being passive aggressive is not better than being openly aggressive" from my former friend and it honestly made me feel like I was as guilty as people who punch/kick/bully others for opinions.
Just a total sidenote, I lost track of the forum's dynamic and I should work on myself more before trying to socialize again, so I'll be less active and try to observe the proper code of conduct for a while, but I'll stay here until I get banned.
Bring me the sesame, miso, citrus and pepper flavored fish cakes
